Tara looked at the short entry she had made in her diary...
Something is stirring to life inside me. I wonder if it is hope? Legends say it was the only thing left in the box because nobody wanted it. After all,how could something so cheap it was practically free,be worth anything?
Carefully replacing the cap on her pen,she closed the small book and replaced it in her bedside cabinet.

Willow jumped with guilt as Buffy came rushing into their room.She was so nervous she almost didn't get the small brush back into the narrow opening at her first try...
The Slayer was looking decidedly flustered as she rushed to the small sink and filled the bowl with cold water.Swiftly undoing her top,she placed the garment in the water and allowed it to soak."Blood! Why can't Demons go 'poof' like a Vampire? Then I wouldn't have to do this so often,and I just bought this top last week,too!"
"B-Buffy,perhaps you should try wearing fatigues like Riley when you're out on patrol."
"No! No way! What kind of fashion statement would that make!" Turning round from the sink,she finally took note of Willow,sitting at the desk. "Willow? Is that you?"
"Yes,it's me.Who did you think it was?" Willow raised her chin defiantly.
"Erm,sorry,it's just that I haven't seen you with the warpaint on in a while.So? You got a hot date tonight? Is it anybody I know? What's his name?"
"No,I'm just going out with a friend,nobody you know." She still felt guilty not saying anything to Buffy about what was going on in her life...She rationalised her reticence by telling herself that even she wasn't sure yet.
"Willow,you're wearing mascara! I bet you even shaved your legs tonight,didn't you?"
"Buffy!.."
"What?" She smiled."Oh,okay,sorry.You look hot though.I bet you're on the pull !"
Willow smiled to herself at Buffy's remark.Maybe I am,she thought.Rising slowly to her feet,she draped her coat over her left arm,and,making sure she had everything she wanted,headed for the door."I might see you later.Don't wait up!"
As the door closed behind her,Buffy felt a happy for Willow.She seemed,at last,to be getting over the whole Oz leaving gig.Now,what was she going to wear for meeting Riley later? She turned to her closet...

Tara was waiting at the entrance to the movie theatre as Willow walked up the street towards her.The fluid movements of the redheads stride seemed to naturally draw her eye,everything else fading into the background.The calf-length coat she had draped over her shoulders,and left unbuttoned,would open and close with her walk,exposing her strong leather-clad legs to view...
As Willow stopped in front of her,reaching for her hand to clasp lightly,the simple touch caused her breathe to quicken and her pupils to dilate as she gazed at those lips she longed to kiss...
When she spoke,a whole world of possibilities opened up for Tara."Shall we..?"
